Hello, first time on the forum. I was wondering what larger fish can be kept with angels. I read keyhole and some earth eaters may work. I have about 14 of them in a planted 125 with 2 honey gourami and 3 german blue rams I can remove them if necessary. Let me know what you guys think. Love the forum btw

14 Angelfish ?


I personally would rehome a few of the Angels and go with a group of Keyhole Cichlids. The Geophagus is called Earth eater. They probably will uproot your plants while sifting in the substrate.
 
Yes 14 angels I do water changes usually 2x a week sometimes just once its heavily planted and every week I have somebody trying to breed in there so i usually get rid of the eggs to stop the tough guy act. I don't even wanna say how many plecos i have in my grow out tank. I have thought about the earth eaters uprooting plants but heard a smaller species mite work. But I rather not risk it I know nothing about keyhole cichlids except that they tend to be kinda messy and dirty and breed like crazy I thought about maybe adding a knife fish but I know they tend to be picky eaters and get very big and I don't really like the way they move hahaa so thats a no would a shoal of khuli loaches or corys work? I think i just want some variety in the tank maybe tetra maybe im just overstocking my tank and should be happy with what I got sorry guys

So less angels and a group of keyholes would work? How many would you say do the keyholes do well with plants like i have read

Your overstocked big time. Your angels are going to become much more aggressive with each other and probably start killing one another eventually.
Most s/a cichlids do well with angels if they have space.
6 angels and a few keyholes would be much more appropriate.
